When the Standard Contact Lens Fitting Fee indicates "Included in Allowance",
charges for the fitting fee are part of the allowance and will be accumulated
towards the total allowance amount.
When the Standard Contact Lens Fitting Fee indicates "Covered", a standard
contact lens fitting exam is covered separately at no cost when using an
in-network provider. Members receiving a non-standard contact lens fitting exam are responsible for 80% of U&C costs, less $75.00. Definitions for
standard and non-standard are as follows.
Standard contact lens fitting exams are typically performed for current wearers
of conventional or disposable lenses.
Non-standard contact lens fitting exams are typically performed for new wearers
of contact lenses or for wearers of toric, RGP, or multi-focal lenses.
Please note the Benefits Calculator assumes a Standard Contact Lens Fitting Fee in calculating the Patient Responsibility.
